Learn Nice through food
I love this way of exploring a city. Aline was very knowledgeable about local history and obviously the food. What surprised me was that the larger part of the tasting was in a picnic at the end. It ended up being a fantastic way to finish the tour. I would highly recommend this.

Our guide, Laura, was very knowledgeable and provided a great experience for us.
An enjoyable tour sampling the various foods, and especially the local ingredients, vegetables, herbs, and olives from the Nice area. In addition, some insights into the culture and history of Nice and the surrounding areas.

Amazing food tour in Nice
We had an amazing food tour in Nice today with our guide, Sofia, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Sofia was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the history, culture, and food of Nice. She made every stop interesting by sharing local stories and explaining the traditions behind each dish. We discovered some truly amazing local food that we probably never would have found on our own. Every tasting was delicious, authentic, and carefully selected. The tour felt very genuine, personal, and well-paced, giving us a real appreciation for the city’s culinary heritage. If you’re visiting Nice and want to experience the city through its food and culture, I highly recommend this tour—and if you have the chance to go with Sofia, even better. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

Great experience!
This was the perfect way to spend my first full day in Nice! The tour guide, Lara, was so friendly, knowledgeable and excited about telling the group the history of her city, as well as all of the food specialties that make it unique! She took us through the market, setting up tastings along the way of so many things - olives, sundried tomatoes, melon, cheeses, salami! After the market we went into several stores to continue tastings - chocolate, olive oils, truffles! At the end, we took the lift to the top of castle hill and had a picnic with even more snacks she picked up along the way! Highly recommend!

Food & Wine Lovers Tour of Nice Local Markets and Best Shops: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nice.
How much does Food & Wine Lovers Tour of Nice Local Markets and Best Shops cost?
+
Prices start at $113 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nice usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Food & Wine Lovers Tour of Nice Local Markets and Best Shops take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nice is not rushed.
Is Food & Wine Lovers Tour of Nice Local Markets and Best Shops worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 143 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Food & Wine Lovers Tour of Nice Local Markets and Best Shops?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Food & Wine Lovers Tour of Nice Local Markets and Best Shops suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Food & Wine Lovers Tour of Nice Local Markets and Best Shops?
+
Around 50 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nice can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nice and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Food & Wine Lovers Tour of Nice Local Markets and Best Shops start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nice within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nice?
+
On Outty we rank every Nice experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include ★ Walking Tour of Old Nice and Castle Hill, NO DIET CLUB - Unique Local Food in Nice !, Nice City Segway Sightseeing Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nice?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nice?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Where is the meeting point for Food & Wine Lovers Tour of Nice Local Markets and Best Shops?
+
